He is obviously a complete buffoon .... worrying that senior management cannot see this. In fact very odd ....

He will never get it right until Black is out of the way and we stop doing EXACTLY what we ere last season even to the point where he continues to play Tadic on the right where is useless and Boufal on the left where he doesn’t do any damage.... There are of course many other blindingly obvious ways to match last year with the common demonimator for all being BLack.... Same mistakes - over and over...

If a comment is worth making why not back up with some evidence or reasoning ?? I can think of none otherwise...

The difference Puel will have at Leicester is a decent coach well of Black’s influence... He might do well which would reflect very poorly on Black who I am convinced brings nothing to our party....

‘Out of form’ or just cra-p!

Oh I don’t think that is a good idea... He was riding his luck a little with us.....

What goes around - comes around.... Now for Klopp or is that bein just a tad greedy for the moment...

Excellent post.... Why can’t our amateur manager and God forbid coaches see it... Maybe they are not up to the job - it’s logical is it not?

Oh please, Slattery is not good enough for the first team, he is just slightly better at times than the very mediocre under 23 squad we have and by that I mean the ones currently outside the first team frame. He is way off ....

That post made me smile.... That’s only IF he makes a save which isn’t that often....

Couldn’t agree more. Every opportunity a pass backwards...

Yes this came across loud and clear with the piece on BBC last week. There is not enough bite and winning mentality about the club ... Too nice definitely as you say...

You have to say that you are right. Martin Hunter came over rather poorly and his whole body language was uninspiriring... Out of touch and just too old thanks.... We need fresh blood to inspire and coach the youngsters... I thought the whole piece showed an out of date complacency around a great modern facility.. The ‘lovely’ Ward Prowse was very ‘pleasant’.... As he is on the pitch really..... Yeah well, it was all a bit very nice and lovely for me..... Not exactly winner takes all ......

Definitely bring him back but not Chamberlain who is now really quite quite poor....

Well it’s funny you should say that... Should’nt professional players be taught from the age of eight how to kick with both feet???? This is another fundamental part of football coaching which is flawed... Honestly football coaching is mediocre. Incidentally we have always played players on opposite wings in forward positions too...

Ummmmmm Comfort Zone? It’s looking that way....

This goes goes straight to the heart of the problem with football..... People are brainwashed that players can only do one job on a pitch - totally untrue. The one exception being goalkeeper..... ‘Football people are ‘institutionalised’ they cannot see solutions that challenge their football ‘knowledge’ or football tradition. What is that ‘knowledge ? It is mostly Scotch Mist. They tend to repeat the same mistakes time and time again. It’s only a very few people that can truely ‘manage’ a football team and those people could manage any team or company. The aura around football management is completely misplaced.

Exactly.... This arrangement is very divisive and undermining for the Manager. A really poor decision to keep Black around. The longer he stays around the more the stink festers .... Black is holding up progress by perpetuating more of exactly the same....

Sensible - Which brings us back round to Eric Black....,

It would be a mistake to misinterpret pace for skill.. Teller was fast but not a great footballer. In fact I can see why Arsenal unloaded him. Rather 'RS it in the headlights'

Oh please please.... What ban everyone with an opinion ???? Oh dear what dull place this would be then...

Well I don't think everyone thinks 'everything is great' just relieved to at least get a win yes..... There was a slight improvement but not huge let's face it and Palace could easily have knocked in a couple lets be honest..... Let's see how this next one goes .....

Getting just a little ahead of yourself here imo.... Nowhere near the first team... Nice goal but a long long way to go to the first team...

This, however we do need our midfield to actually make runs very advanced and that doesn't happen...

I see what you did there :-))
